it wasn’t Inner Qi, True Qi, Gang Qi, nor did it belong to the Yin Yang Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal individuals couldn’t sense its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This red energy grew more active, as if adding firewood to a bonfire, burning brighter and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red energy became increasingly radiant, truly transforming into a mass of flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a trance, the essence blood of those Evil Sect experts became fuel, causing the red flame to blaze with strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the flame intensified, their corpses rapidly shrank and shrank, eventually turning into stark white bones, resembling skeletons of many years deceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mass of flames rose slowly, ascended into the air, then suddenly accelerated towards the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s Super Sense ascended along with it and vaguely saw at the end of the void, between the clouds and mists, shrouded in hazy light, two colossal statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a multi-legged humanoid statue, the other a three-eyed humanoid statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two gigantic statues were vast and majestic, compelling him to bow impulsively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s roar echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inexplicable pressure he felt vanished thereafter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Sense looked again, but the end of the void was just void, with nothing present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture had unknowingly stopped, he hurriedly reactivated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the corpses had already turned to white bones, leaving nothing to view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outer Heaven Power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is this Evil Sect different from the Divine Dao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These deities used their statues as intermediaries to intervene in this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By worshiping these deities, one could obtain the power they bestow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they would not continuously inject power but instead let worshippers devour the flesh and blood of their kind to strengthen themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at the breakthrough moment would they grant power, enabling one to achieve Grandmaster, or even Great Grandmaster status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fundamentally, it was a means of strengthening themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power they acquired far surpassed what they bestowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Yin Energy, that flame, were forces they intended to absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s akin to rearing livestock, feeding them grain until fattened, then slaughtering them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left him indescribably uncomfortable, as if humans had become pigs and cattle, being herded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to cultivating the Divine Dao, these deities of the Evil Sect were more malevolent and despicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards the fourteen Great Grandmasters in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Flying Knives were launched simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Evil Sect Great Grandmasters, who were sluggish in their moves, suddenly paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Cheng and the others, always on edge, ready to act at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the flying knives appear, they seized the moment when the opponent’s visualization faltered, swiftly breaking free from its entanglement, and abruptly accelerated to their opponents’ rear, striking their backheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying Knives flickered again, causing the four Great Grandmasters, who had reacted, to pause once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Great Grandmasters’ heads emitted a crisp sound, and in their eyes reflected an extinguished longing, heavily falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang Bang Bang Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four dull thuds seemed to echo in the hearts of all present, their heartbeats consequently quickening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four Evil Sect Great Grandmasters immediately showed eyes filled with struggles, which then turned into madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Screech Screech Screech Screech!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the piercing wails, the four Flying Knives shone brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s Insight revealed the mental states of the four Great Grandmasters, knowing they intended mutual destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Great Grandmasters died too easily, cutting off any chance for lucky thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They intended immediate jade and stone burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they were about to activate secret techniques, the Flying Knives abruptly accelerated, lights shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused them to pause involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside each sky-flying knife was imbued with the Sword Soul Chu Zhiyuan had been cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Soul was not fatal to their spiritual power but could interfere with their mind, disturbing the operation of their visualization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pause in the Spiritual Domain gave the other six a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They heard Chu Zhiyuan’s voice: “They intend jade and stone burning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six knew immediately what to do, leaving no room for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang Bang Bang Bang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Great Grandmasters’ backheads were consecutively struck, with dull sounds like melon cracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against a pine tree, activating the Spirit Summoning Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique continuously drew power to restore himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, his spirit recovered considerably, and he once again activated the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture, looking at the corpses of the eight Great Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately became enraptured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of the Great Grandmasters was vastly different from the death of Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Energy of Great Grandmasters was paler, resembling a faint white mist, nearing the transparency of yang energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This faint Yin Energy did not drift towards the other six Great Grandmasters but drifted towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be yin and yang unification?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was active on the Great Grandmasters’ bodies was black, a mass of black flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These black flames surged within the Great Grandmasters’ bodies, absorbing strands of black energy, making it increasingly rich, profound, and glossy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deduced that these strands of black must be Yin Evil, resulting from killings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Sense briefly observed, inducing discomfort, compelling him to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flames ascended to the sky, where the void’s end vaguely revealed colossal majestic statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing with Super Sense caused him slight disorientation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly gripped the Bright Moon Saber, circulating the Glazed Blade Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Saber, having vastly strengthened the Sword Soul, immediately merged with him, the Knife Soul safeguarding his spirit, rendering him unshakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, killing eight Great Grandmasters, the Sword Soul expanded significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the last encounter, he devised a countermeasure, which was this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Sense continued to perceive the distant void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw clusters of black flames falling upon the gigantic statues, causing them to slightly glimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statues received enormous nourishment, as if the eyes came to life, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unable to retreat in time, and a bright light filled his view, his mind instantly blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon’s roar resounded again in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining his senses, he found his Biluo True Robe already inflated, Gang Qi circulating endlessly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled in relief, deeply grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank goodness for the Dragon Transformation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was now clear and tranquil, with no anomalies present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight Great Grandmasters had turned into white bones, leaving nothing behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Chu Zhiyuan somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight Great Grandmasters were paupers, lacking any treasures for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He further clarified the distinction between Yin Energy and Yin Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world only knew of Yin Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Great Grandmasters only knew of Yin Evil, unaware of Yin Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood, allowing him to reverse deduce part of the truth of the Great Grandmasters’ realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Great Grandmaster Realm, the transformation of Yin Energy wasn’t to mention, but the key was in Yin Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Evil on a Grandmaster compared to a Great Grandmaster was truly worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin Evil of a Grandmaster provided was the Qi condensed from Yin Energy and their own essence blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Great Grandmaster provided Yin Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized, the Outer Heaven Strange Gods most sought after was Yin Evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Grandmasters’ malice originated from the extent of their killings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming a Great Grandmaster, the spirit became purer, less influenced by the Outer Heaven Strange Gods, developing its will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if any Great Grandmaster lost control, fully dominated by the Outer Heaven Strange Gods, it would result in endless slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, his murderous intent towards the Evil Sect intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1517,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.104Z","2026-06-03T09:58:02.812Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f533159a3f7f45d8ba296dc280ca56b0c5ba1d4d1c9a4abdea604047d0ee55e","imperial-cultivation-chapter-431","imperial-cultivation-chapter-429",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
